Series 2 survivor
Posted: Fri Aug 20, 2021 10:50 am
I'm tickled pink with my new purchase, this series 2 LI125
What's the best route? Just maintain it and renew as little as possible; tweak the motor with rt195, bigger carb and clubman; maybe stick with points? It's hard to decide.
On one hand I feel a degree of responsibility to keep it as original as possible, but on the other I want to make it nice to ride. A bog-stock LI125 certainly won't be much fun once I get past the end of the street.
At the moment, I'm thinking rt195, 28ish mm carb, some clubman or other, ditch the airbox and maybe vape ignition. Renew the inner cables and tyres; might need new outers but I hope not. The springs and damper will likely get replaced.
